HC Deb 10 December 1946 vol 431 c220W
Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food how much home grown wheat was marketed in September, October and November this year; and how much of this was classed as non-millable.

M. Strachey

The total amount of home grown wheat sold to approved buyers in September was 231,000 tons and in October 290,000 tons. The amount certified by local wheat committees as non-millable was about 7,000 tons in September and 24,500 tons in October; of this a proportion was retained on farms. I regret that similar information for November is not yet available.
